Line Friends Official Goods Review

Line Friends are the characters created by Line Corporation for use in the Line messaging app. These unique characters are so popular, there are over 40 Line Friends stores around the world and an online store (here) where you can buy these characters! My brother was kind enough to visit the New York City location and get me a few goodies, which I'll unbox below.
First off, the shopping bag is really adorable. For this medium size, one side has Choco.
The other side has Cony.

I also have another shopping bag which contains BT21 characters from BTS' collaboration with Line Friends.

Here is the other side of the BT21 shopping bag.

Sally and Cony Mini Coin Purses (official product pages of Sally here and Cony here)
These mini coin purses were regular price $8.50 USD each and in store these goods had a 10% off sale. The Cony one is for a friend, so I won't be opening it.
Here is how the back of the packaging looks like.
The product tag is really adorable, with Brown, Cony, Sally, Leonard, and Edward in a group hug.
Here is the backside of the Sally Mini Coin Purse tag.
Here is the front of Sally. She is about 4" in diameter, though a bit wider than tall. The tag was attached to a loop on the side - you can use it to attach on to a key chain. The size is just a tad too small to fit a credit card.
Here is the back of Sally. Sadly the plastic tie from the tag made a small indent in the back, but hopefully within time it'll regain its shape.
Inside Sally are the moisture-absorbing pack and a foam cutout for Sally to keep her shape.
The green Line Friends tag is sewn to the back. There is also a net against the back to create a divider.
I really like Sally as a coin purse. The size is quite large and spacious for coins and the color is really bright, so it's easy to find in my bag.

Brown Face Doll Massage Stick (official product page here)
The concept of having a plush on a wooden stick may seem foreign, but it's definitely no stranger to the Line Friends merchandise! There are a variety of these massage sticks, with the character's head or full body on the stick. At first I wasn't sure how to use these, but I've seen photos of models tapping the plush on their shoulders and tried that out. This thing works wonders - the head is a firm plush that does feel relaxing when used on my shoulders and upper back.
The back of the head has the green Line Friends tag, along with the product tag attached to that.
This massage stick is $12.50 USD. The full body ones are a bit more expensive, about $16.00. The inside of the tag has product information in Korean.
The backside of the product tag has information in Chinese.
The head is about 4.5" wide and 3.75" tall. The stick is about 9.5" long.
I'll be completely transparent, the only reason I bought this massage stick is because of Golden Child's product placement throughout their vlives. They are always holding the Brown Face Doll Massage Stick and Cony Face Doll Massage Stick. Here is a rare selca of how happy I am with Brown^^
Overall, I'm very happy with my mini collection of Line Friends goods. I do hope one day to visit a Line Friends store in person and have the full experience of seeing the characters in larger-than-life size and of eating at the cafe.
